Emoticons are graphic images that you can use to express emotions in an instant message conversation.
You can add emoticons in two ways:
- 
            
Click
 in the conversation window and choose the emoticon you want. - 
            
Use a keyboard shortcut.
 
Notes:
- 
              
To turn off emoticons, on the Communicator menu, click Preferences, and then click Appearance. Under Message Font Style, clear the check boxes for the emoticons that you don't want.
 - 
              
Depending on a contact's messaging application and messaging service, custom emoticons and some standard emoticons might not be visible to that contact.
